I need to order ear tags. The deer chew on them, and some of the tags are showing wear. My plan is to use the metal wrap around tags and retag the ones who have ratty plastic ones so we can stay compliant and then when (and I say when!) they lose one they'll have a spare.



Has anyone else done this? I hate the look of big yellow tags in their ears, and would rather have something that is less obtrusive. The steel tags seem to be very hard to rip out.



If anyone would be willing to offer their insight, I'd love their advice!

When I was doing my TB and Bruce testing a year ago the vet put all metal tags in the ears of all my deer. In Minnesota that is all that is required for indentification for deer. The number on the metal tag has to be registered with the board of animal health. I had my annual herd inventory yesterday and the Minnesota board of animal health inspector came out and verified that I could use the metal tag only if I wanted and the plastic tags was for my benefit. I am not sure if you need a vet to put it in so you got documentation from another official source that the number on the metal tag is what it says it is or if you can just document it yourself and give the info to the board of animal health. If you don't need a plastic tag to figure out which deer is which then I would go the metal tag route and not have the hassle of the plastic ones.

I called the company that makes the metal tags . I told the lady that they need to chrome the tags and put a glass Jewell on them . because the deer like a little bling also. Can you believe she didn't like the idea. true story

That's funny dear john......some people just dont have a sense of humor
